There is no need to worry about ragging at Manipal University as it follows a strict 0% ragging policy on the campus. The points below state some of the incidents faced by candidates in the university that would clear the picture of ragging in the institute. Wardens are very strict in some blocks in the hostels. The rules are so strict that students from other blocks feel terrified to enter. There are incidents of fun in the hostels of Manipal University, in the names of ragging. One night around 11:30 PM, a group of senior students entered the rooms of juniors and locked the doors. Some of them created a panic situation among the students and left the rooms. Just at 12:00 AM, they entered the room again with friendship bands and wished Happy Friendship Day to juniors. The seniors are very interactive and helpful. During technical club fests, meets, etc, senior and juniors get to interact a lot among them. Most seniors are very friendly and help their juniors at times. As evident from the above points, the situation of ragging in Manipal University is actually fun and interactive. Although not 0%, but most of the incidents of ragging are based on creating a good relationship between juniors and seniors in the university.

I have a few friends pursuing courses at MIT Manipal. One of my friends is in Mechanical Engineering and he is happy to be there.  Campus infrastructure is very good and well-maintained compared to any NITs and IITs.  Students enrolled and Peer groups might not be as good as compared to IITs and NITs but still, you can meet people of different places with unique talents. You can achieve Good social exposure that can help to develop your personality.  The faculties are average, you need to depend on yourself for academics, which is true for most colleges.  The scope of Research might not be as good but the students of Manipal University made a student satellite which can be considered a big achievement. On average, over 250+ recruiting teams visit MIT Manipal for UG & PG campus placements & internship recruitment every year. The recent placement statistics for the institute are as follows.  Average CTC 7.50 LPA Highest CTC 43.31 LPA Major recruiters  Flipkart, CISCO, Samsung, SAP Labs, Oracle, Deloitte, Toshiba Hope this gives you some ideas about the institute.

I am going to talk about what makes Manipal University special. As I know a thing or two about the institute through my friends who are studying there.  It is among the best medical colleges in the country. The faculties are great and there is scope for research. These are the reasons why it has been given special status.  Among all the private institutions in the same field, Manipal is ranked at 5th which shows the promise of more development.  MIT became autonomous back in 2000 and within only 20 years it has become one of the top 50 engineering colleges in the country, out of 10000. The placement statistics of MIT are also improving with the passing years. It was ranked top among all the private institutes of India by QS World rankings. The infrastructure facilities provided at the campus are great.  Although MIT has a higher course fee with the brand name it’s easier to find private funding.  So, there are some of the things that may have been the reason why MIT got special status.

NIT Trichy can be considered at par with BITS Pilani, IIT BHU, and IIT ISM Dhanbad. Manipal Institute of Technology, on the other hand, can hardly be compared with several low-tier NITs, NIT Mizoram and NIT Nagaland are to name a few among the handful.  The infrastructure of NIT Trichy is comparably not as well established as what is in Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT). However, MIT is still a growing institute. It is one of the best private institutes, only following BITS Pilani but still requires a valid amount of time until it gains a similar reputation as other top institutes. Manipal offers better infrastructure and facilities but NIT Trichy is definitely better than Manipal Institute of Technology in all other aspects.

The best option for you is to take up an M.Sc. degree at the BITS Pilani Goa campus. The M.Sc. degrees that are offered are Maths, Physics, Economics, Biology, and Chemistry. Category CSE at MIT Manipal Chemical at NIT Surathkal Chemical at BITS Pilani Total Fee 17.06 lakhs 5.45 lakh 19.19 lakhs Companies Visited Deloitte, Adani, etc. L&T, ZS, etc. Deloitte, TCS, Dell, etc. Highest Package 43.31 LPA 37 LPA 45-54 LPA Average Package 7.5 LPA 8 LPA 12 LPA If you are confused about the stream, let me give you a clear idea. In the first year, the students get to know all subjects.  They get an opportunity to interact with their seniors from other streams.  Eventually, they can opt for the B.E. degree after the first year ends.  The most difficult to get is Computer Science as the student is required to maintain a CGPA of 8+ in their first year.  Pros of choosing BITS: Of the three options, BITS Pilani is considered to be the most reputed. Foreign Universities recognize BITS, IITs and some NITs. This will gives you a slightly better chance of getting an MS to admit. The network of BITS alumni is very strong. You can easily get referrals from the top firms for jobs as well as internships. Cons  If you want to opt for Chemical Engineering as your B.E. degree, a CGPA of 5 will be enough but if you want to opt for subjects like Computer Science, you will have to acquire an 8+ CGPA. Therefore, going for BITS Pilani is concluded as the best choice. One should not decide in haste.
